Current status on Báðarbunga volcano eruption
- Eruption continues in Holuhraun. Most of the craters have stopped erupting for now. The main craters continue to erupt.
- It is my view that eruption under the glacier is imminent. That eruption would take place close to the location of today magnitude 4,5 and 3,0 took place today. When it might start is impossible to know.
- Earthquake activity continues in Bárðarbunga volcano. With largest earthquakes today having magnitude 5,0. Most of the earthquake take place on the caldera rim, since the caldera is sinking into the crust. More on this below [1].
- The lava field is now going into Jökulsá á Fjöllum. It is currently crossing the glacier river and creating a dam in the process. Only steam has been seen in this process.
- Risk of eruption in Bárðarbunga volcano slopes is extremely high. There has not been any eruption in Báðarbunga volcano slopes since 23-August-2014.
- GPS instruments have now be installed on top of Bárðarbunga volcano today. This is to measure exactly what is going on inside the volcano.
